Fall 2019

Calling all creatives!

Scout is unique in that it is entirely student-run, yet runs very similarly to a real design business. As a student-led program focused on educating its members, Scout presents the opportunity for you to learn by trying, failing, and eventually accomplishing, all in a tight-knit community where work ethic and curiosity are valued higher than intelligence and talent. So if you’re ready to work your butt off, eager to learn from others, and excited to collaborate with equally enthusiastic students, you’ve found the right place.

We are currently accepting applications from undergraduate students to Fall 2019 Management Team!

Officer applications close on Wednesday, February 13th at 11:59pm EST

Frequently asked questions

Becoming A Venture

Client applications open towards the end of each semester. Check to see if applications are open, otherwise drop us a line at scout@neu.edu.

How often does Scout take on new clients?

We take on a set of new clients each semester.

I have a huge, large-scaled project, can you work with me?

We are a smaller sized team and want to make sure we have the capacity to absolutely rock your project. Depending on your needs and the current studio lineup, we may refer you somewhere else.

I need a quick logo, can you help me out?

Scout studio works on more substantial projects for a semester long time period. If you have smaller design needs with a quick turnaround, we would be happy to take a look at your work during Club Scout.

General Inquiries

Can you set me up with a freelancer?

We can point you in the right direction! If you would like to work with someone connected to Scout, you can reach out to us at scout@neu.edu with your project description or join our Scout Freelance Network Facebook group.

Can people outside of Northeastern attend Scout sponsored events?

Of course! Our events are open to all.

Where is Scout’s office and can I drop in?

We are in room 307 of Ryder Hall. Come on in and say hi!

Getting Involved

I’m on co-op, can I be on the team?

Unfortunately, students on co-op cannot be on the Scout team, but you can still be a Club Scout-er and check out the events.

When are applications open for the Studio, marketing, labs, and conference teams?

Applications and decisions are made before the start of each semester so we can hit the ground running when classes start. We take on new team members for the studio, marketing and events, labs, and conference each semester.

If I’m not on the team, can I still be involved?

Yes! Club Scout is the place to get involved with other designers, developers, and creative thinkers. We meet every Thursday from 5-7pm in 307 Ryder (Scout HQ). Pumped to see you there!
